PROCESS CONTROL ENGINEERING For a smooth flow of information. And cost-effective processes. The more complex a process is designed, the more important are precise instruments for its continuous progression.

Basics Galvanic isolation Despite the continually increasing level of automation and the proliferation of fieldbus systems in process automation, signal converters are still indispensible. They essentially perform 3 main tasks: • Signal conversion • Galvanic isolation of signals • The amplification of signals In addition, some signal converters can supply 2-wire transmitters. Two distinct systems are available: Passive signal converters designed in the so-called 2-wire technology which obtain their energy directly from the measuring circuit and active signal converters, e.g. isolation amplifiers,...

Basics dangerously high potentials are measured. Despite the fact that a measuring signal may only amount to a few mV, the potential against earth and thus against persons is dangerously high in case of a failure. This is referred to as the working voltage. Figure 4 shows the example of 10 mV measurement on a working voltage of 100 V. Signal amplification This function is reserved for active signal converters since a separate power supply is needed. It mainly concerns applications requiring bridging of long signal paths and the avoidance of interferences. Signal amplication 4…20 mA Figure 5 4…20...

Basics Explosion protection through intrinsic safety 1. General aspects 3. Zone classification For the acquisition of signals in hazardous areas, angular position transmitters as well as signal converters of Camille Bauer are designed in the intrinsic safety type of protection “i“. The abbreviation of “i“ is derived from term of intrinsic safety. Hazardous environments are classified in standardised zones, in which gas and dust incentive hazardous areas are differentiated. Zones for hazardous areas due to gas Example The intrinsic safety type of protection uses the fact that a certain energy...

4. Intrinsically safe equipment Intrinsically safe equipment is installed in a respective hazardous zone. All of the circuits of such equipment must be designed intrinsi- cally safe. The intrinsically safe equipment of Camille Bauer comprises: • Angular position transmitters • Position transmitters • Programmable temperature transmitters Pertaining equipment is exclusively installed outside of hazardous zones. It has the task of safe coupling of electrical signals into hazar- dous zones or discoupling out of them. The circuits of pertaining equipment must be desig- ned, examined and certified...

Intrinsic safety in temperature measurement Temperature is the most frequently measured physical variable. The market thus offers numerous applications and instruments in this respect. For temperature measure- ments in partly closed processes, sheathed thermometers are mainly used. A sheathed thermometer contains a head transmitter which transforms the sensor signal into a mA norm signal. Different instrument designs are used in hazardous areas. The Camille Bauer instruments for hazardous areas are designed for simple applications through to those with fieldbus connection. Different instrument...

Basics equipment, has a type-examination certificate and additionally feeds – in the most adverse case – a second wattage into the Ex-i circuit. This is called an interconnection of two active equipment items whose proof of intrinsic safety is detailed in EN 60 079-14 (Section 12.2.5.2. incl. Attachment B). However, the figure „Parallel connection - current addition“ in Attachment B is only applicable to this case if the power supply unit and the handheld terminal have linear output characteristics. If one of the two characteristics is not linear, the proof must be provided on basis of the THEx-10...
